We don't need it. We still like it, but we don't need it.

That was my thought too. And not a snarky one, but a genuine one.

I remember once, giving a civil smile, while thinking 'meh', on receiving a compliment once. Because I felt that the complement was for the sake of complementing, but at the same time, the words were +ive, so I felt the need to respond positively.

Well, no. Just because we can survive without it doesn't mean we don't need it!

(Though honestly, your reaction was my first snarky thought too!)
